However I would like to know what remote areas you camp. That's something I keep looking for; places that are out of the way and isolated.

I just see it as the same old thing - owning a condo downtown and complaining about noise, hiking in a motorized access area and complaining about 2 strokes, "camping" in an RV park and complaining about generators running outside of quiet time, skiing/snowboarding at a major resort and complaining about it getting tracked out too quick on a powder day. Getting away from people and all the annoying things they do isn't real hard, but it does take some effort.
Personally we don't require power to camp, 6 volt with a solar kit gives me enough juice for lights and, apart from that, I still do things the same way I did in a tent - cook over the fire, Coleman stove coffee. My trailer is a toy hauler so most of the size is the garage, it just happens to make a great base camp to explore out of. Depending on where we are I strap my tent to my pack and hike, mtn bike or dirt bike out for overnight trips into areas I've never seen before. Then I can come back covered in mud and have a nice shower before crawling into a comfortable bed.
As for where I camp, well, if I put it on the internet those areas won't be quiet and free of crowds for long. I recommend a Backroads mapbook and a sense of adventure, finding the hidden gems is 1/2 the fun.
